Episode 1.03 - Character Journal - Corrie

Now it is clear, these folk are a rabble.
They have no way to guide others because they are new as babies born
themselves. And the soldier, who is canny to the world’s ways will not
lead. He is a defender and born to support a true leader. Likewise the
Cigany woman. Though she and the trader are rich, they run a crew of
men far different than their accounts. Which is to say with slack and
full play in the line. Though I must credit her full marks for that
stormy passage. I thought sure we would die on the rocks.
Still it is better to want rule than chafe under iron discipline of a
petty tyrant.
If this company will last and make a real worthy enterprise someone
must take the wheel. All must deliberate well, decide our course and
hold fast to it.
Sometimes I envy that hawk the soldier keeps. I would look down on
high and check that what we’ve done has caused no lasting evil. How is
that young girl in the hill lands? How fares the priest? Does the evil
army march on us? What dark purpose does the traitor bring to the
North?
Och, I will take my leave of this company for a week or so. A break
away from this motley crew will do my heart and body good. I should
reacquaint myself with the port folk and see what intelligence I can
find on all these loose ends.
